    One more cool piece of news for PS4 players: the next-gen console architecture makes it much easier for us to offer ongoing patch support for the PS4 version of the Ultimate Evil Edition. This means that as we continue to patch the game on PC, we’ll now be able to roll out related patch content, as appropriate, on PS4 as well. It’ll take some additional time beyond the PC patch rollout, but we’ll get them to you as quickly as possible.

    Great news. On another note, I do have a question about the digital pre-order bonus:

    For those who pre-purchase the game digitally on the PlayStation Store, you’ll also pick up a set of helm and weapon transmog recipes, a Spectral Hound minion, and three additional character slots.

    That spectral hound minion sounds pretty cool, but what about the character slots? I've only played the demo on the Xbox 360 so far, so I don't understand that part. What are character slots, and what do they allow me to do?

    Greetings Doctor SpaceInsomniac, each character you create occupies a character slot. People that pre-order can make 15 characters instead 12 characters for non-preorders.

    Ah. That makes sense, but seeing as the game doesn't have anywhere near that many classes--six, if I'm remembering correctly--does the game somehow offer an incentive to making more? Beyond perhaps male and female versions of each class, why would someone ever want more than that?

    @spaceinsomniac: Male vs female and softcore vs hardcore characters. You can also use them as mules.
